How did a bill in Congress break apart one of the greatest love stories of our time?
What came between Donald Trump and Elon Musk? What busted up those two crazy kids on their journey of true love?
It all started with... The One Big Beautiful Bill!
Congressional Republicans were putting together a package of big spending cuts and big tax cuts that Li'l Donnie called in his ever eloquent manner "one big beautiful bill".
Speaker Mike Johnson never missing an opportunity to kiss the ass of his Lord and Savior Donald Trump said, sure, let's just call it that.
So the official name of this legislation is (and I kid you not) "The One Big Beautiful Bill Act".
Alternative names for the bill:
- "The One Big Fuck Poor People Act"
- "The One Big Let's Go Down On Billionaires Act"
- "The One Big You Can't Stop Us Now Bwa-Ha-Ha-Ha Act"
The spending cuts come from decimating medical care benefits and food assistance. People are very concerned that the most vulnerable of the American population are at risk of losing vital health care and going hungry.
Well, fuck them, they're going to die anyway.
(An actual defense that we discussed in this post right here.)
And there are tax cuts to the richest Americans who do not need help.
The upshot is that despite gutting the safety net for Americans who really do need help, the commiserate loss of revenue via the tax cuts still produces an increasing budget deficit.
Elon Musk does not like this bill.
Up until recently, Donald Trump and Elon Musk were tight!
Elon bought and paid for Li'l Donnie's 2nd Presidency and hung around to get his money's worth with his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recklessly and indeterminately hacking and slashing at government jobs and programs, all with Trump's blessing.
Trump sees these government employees as members of a Democrat led deep state that's out to get him so these thousands of people being put out of work just made him a giddy as a little girl!
The haphazard cruelty of Elon's DOGE did not go well for Elon's businesses. Tesla sales took a nose dive in America and all over the world in responses to Elon Musk doing Donald Trump's dirty work.
Elon left his role with DOGE and he and Li'l Donnie promised to best buds forever. They did a pinky swear!
Then in a post DOGE interview, Elon Musk laid the groundwork for putting some distance between him and his association with Donald Trump by saying he did not necessarily agree with everything the Trump administration did.
Later by way of an example, Elon voiced his objection to the One Big Beautiful Bill. He said it was filled with too much pork.
What spending Elon Musk was objecting too wasn't clarified. Given his total lack of human empathy to date, I can only guess he thinks the poor should be fucked harder?
Whatever his reasons, Elon Musk said he didn't like the bill.
Which Donald Trump of course took personally and it was on!
Donald Trump: "Something is wrong with Elon!"
Elon Musk: "Donald Trump is in the Epstein files!"
Donald Trump: "Elon does have a drug problem you know."
Elon Musk: "Trump should be impeached!"
Donald Trump: "I faked all my orgasms, Elon!"
Elon Musk: "I never loved you, Donald!"
Donald Trump: <Crying over a plate of cheeseburgers>
Elon Musk: <Plugged into a computer port, shedding a single tear>
Ain't it a shame these crazy kids could not make it work.
Meanwhile, members of the House that actually voted for the One Big Beautiful Bill have voiced objections to it because of stuff they found out was in the bill AFTER they voted for it.
Yep, these Congress persons are admitting they did not read the bill they voted for.
And the bill is up for review in the Senate where Senators have questions about the bill the House sent over. "This bill is full of shit! Did no one read this god damn thing before they sent it over here?"
Our only hope is there are still enough Republicans in the Senate who believe in doing the right thing over loyalty to Donald Trump to stop this....
Oh, who am I kidding? We're fucked!
